Coat your desk with whiteboard paint and you'll always have a place to jot down quick notes, plan your workweek, or doodle.

That's what software engineer and maker Bob Clagett did with his huge, custom-built desk. Make sure the surface is nice and smooth before applying primer and the dry erase paint, Clagett advises in his very detailed post about this desk.

Beyond the useful desktop (a good alternative to the chalkboard desktop at Google HQ), the desk also features incredible organization (see image below) and built-in storage, including a secret compartment! Hit up Claggett's blog for more details.

If you have a workspace of your own to show off, share them with us by: a) posting it in the discussion below, attaching your image to the post, b) posting it to your personal Kinja blog using the tag featured workspace, or c) adding it to ourLifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Flickr pool. Make sure any photos you include are at least 640x360. Keeping them to 16:9 helps, too! Include a little text about the stuff you used, how you came up with the design, and any other relevant details. If your clever organization and good design sense catches our eye, you might be the next featured workspace.
